How to make video ads with AI — the whole process in five steps

This is the complete, honest walkthrough of making a video ad with AI: what to write, what to choose, and where the quality actually comes from (spoiler: the brief).

Total time from idea to downloadable MP4 in Agalaz Ad Studio: around ten minutes, most of it writing.

How it works

  1. 1

    Choose format (9:16 vertical or 16:9 horizontal).

  2. 2

    Write the brief: product + scene + on-screen text + ending. Use the built-in café example as a template.

  3. 3

    Optionally attach a product photo.

  4. 4

    Confirm the review screen (this is when a video is deducted — success only).

  5. 5

    Download the MP4 and post it.

Why businesses use it

Step 1 — Pick the placement

TikTok, Reels or Shorts → vertical 9:16. YouTube or your website → horizontal 16:9. This decides the framing before the AI films anything.

Step 2 — Write a director's brief

Name WHAT you sell, the SCENE (place, light, mood), the exact ON-SCREEN TEXT, and the closing shot. Specific beats poetic: "close-up of a steaming latte on a wooden counter" beats "a nice café vibe".

Step 3 — Add the real product

Attach a product photo and the AI keeps the actual item in frame — strongest for e-commerce ads.

Step 4 & 5 — Confirm and download

A review screen shows your brief before one pack video is spent. Two-ish minutes later, download the finished ~8s MP4 with sound.

The hook test

Generate the same ad twice with different first-second hooks and let real viewers pick the winner.

The offer refresh

When an ad fatigues, change the on-screen offer text and regenerate — four dollars, four minutes.

The platform expansion

Take a working vertical ad and regenerate it horizontal for YouTube without re-briefing from scratch.

Frequently asked questions

What makes an AI ad look professional?

A precise brief. Name the shot type (close-up, wide), the light (warm morning, neon night), the exact text and the ending. Vague briefs produce generic ads.

How fast is "fast"?

Writing a good brief: 5–10 minutes. Generation: 1–3 minutes. You can realistically go from idea to posted ad inside half an hour.

Do I need prompt-engineering skills?

No — the worked example teaches the structure, and the confirmation step lets you re-read before spending a video.

What does each ad cost?

From a pack: 2/$12, 5/$25 or 10/$39.99 — i.e. $4–6 per video, deducted only on success.
